fort lewis: What a diffence a gallon of gasoline can make - 07/05/08 07:22 PM

I once drove by a California apartment complex right off the freeway that posted a huge banner reading "If you'd live here, you'd be home by now".

Fort Lewis is currently hosting a National Guard unit from Lincoln, Nebraska for training.
